“Her Majesty regrets that this means she will be unable to attend the Festival of Remembrance on Saturday, 13th November,” the statement continued. “However, it remains The Queen’s firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday, on 14th November.”
The queen went to the hospital recently where she underwent “preliminary investigations.” She stayed one night and returned to Windsor Castle the next day.
The royal household then shared she’d canceled her upcoming appearance at the U.N. climate conference in Glasgow and has since been holding virtual audiences from her home, The Associated Press noted.
There has been no other details released about the family member of the royal family’s health. The queen was recently reportedly advised by her doctors to skip drinking and give up her nightly martini so she will be healthy enough for all the festivities next year for her Platinum Jubilee, celebrating her 70 years on the throne.
